[Project No. 2710-035-ME]


PPL Maine, LLC; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

August 19, 2005.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for a new license for the Orono Hydroelectric 
Project, located on the Stillwater Branch of the Penobscot River, in 
Penobscot County, Maine, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment 
(EA). In the EA, Commission staff analyze the potential environmental 
effects of relicensing the project and conclude that issuing a new 
license for the project, with appropriate environmental measures, would 
not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect 
the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's 
Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the 
docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number 
field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online 
Support at [email protected] or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676, 
or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the issuance date 
of this notice, and should be addressed to the Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1-A, 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Orono Project No. 2710'' to all 
comments. Comments may be filed electronically via Internet in lieu of 
paper. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site under the ``eFiling'' link. For further information, contact 
Patrick Murphy (202) 502-8755.

Deputy Secretary.
